Brave Ukrainians have been putting their lives on the line to confront Russian tanks and slow Putin’s advance.
In pictures and videos reminiscent of the 1989 ‘tank man’ of China’s Tiananmen Square, hundreds of Ukrainians have taken to streets to block roads and stop Russian military vehicles from marching on the capital of Kyiv.
In one video taken in the town of Koryukivka, which lies just miles away from Ukraine’s border with Russia, a large group of residents – possibly hundreds of them – stood their ground as a Russian tank convoy approached.
In silence, the residents marched on Russian tanks, putting their lives at risk to defend their country from the invaders.
While it is not clear how or when did the confrontation come to an end, this isn’t the first example of the bravery of the Ukrainian people.
Earlier, one man jumped in front of a moving Russian tank and climbed on its front before clinging to the armored vehicle while it was moving.
After the tank came to a stop, onlookers tried to pull the man away to stop him from getting killed. The defiant man, however, dropped down on his knees before eventually walking off the road.
In yet another footage, a Ukrainian man slowed down a large convoy of Russian vehicles in the south of the country as he charged onto the road knowing it could very well cost him his life.
